Answer 1

I had the same issue.

I carried on reading the page : https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/guides/library/python/embed/run-sample under the heading "Find the device instance ID" it seems my device was not registered.

So I manually registered the device from the pi with the help page here: https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/reference/device-registration/device-tool#register-device.

(env) pi@raspberrypi:~ $  googlesamples-assistant-devicetool --project-id YOUR_DEVICE_ID register-device --device 4D609xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --model YOUR_MODEL_ID --client-type SERVICE
Creating new device
Error: Failed to register device: 403
Google Assistant API has not been used in project 5739xxxxxxxx before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/embeddedassistant.googleapis.com/overview?project=5739xxxxxxxx then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for the action to propagate to our systems and retry.

So I followed the link and enabled the API under my google account, and retried.

(env) pi@raspberrypi:~ $ googlesamples-assistant-devicetool --project-id YOUR-PROJECT-ID register-device --device 4D60xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --model YOUR_MODEL_ID --client-type SERVICE

Creating new device

Device instance 4D60xxxxxxxxx successfully registered

Now it works ok.

Answer 2

I was facing the same issue. After a lot of research, I found that there was a new version of google-assistant-library

Once I upgraded the same to v1.0.1 from 1.0.0, the issue was resolved.

Open your env and run

python -m pip install --upgrade google-assistant-library==1.0.1

Let me know if any issues.
